What's good on Netflix?

There’s a character named Marcus?

Spoiler: Marcus.

Marcus is the astronaut monkey that ran off with the Chinese.

Thanks to this Thread, I just smashed Top Boy on Netflix over the past week. Loved it. If interested, search for "Top Boy Summerhouse" to watch the first 2 seasons which are only 4 eps each. Then it goes moves to Top Boy ( effectively season 3) which has 10 eps and is set 6 years or so after the 2nd Summerhouse season.

Bit like The Wire in that I had to watch it with the subtitles on... Highly recommended.

Next Season of Dark out this week, I think it is the last season. Currently re watching the first 2 series.

Really hope they can pull off a satisfying conclusion as I have really enjoyed it so far.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but we’ve smashed money heist in a really short space of time.
It takes a few episodes to get over the fact it’s dubbed but once you get over it it’s really good.

Has anyone watched the English game? I’m a football fan but not sure that’s enough to hold my interest in a period drama.

I'm both a football fan and a historical drama fan, so I liked the concept
Not groundbreaking, but I still enjoyed it

Watched the NO movie ‘The Old Guard’

The series are often great but most movies I’ve seen are trash. This was no exception. Standard Netflix, American Army has a special ops unit of entirely 20 year old minority chicks (of course) one finds out she’s immortal and then meets a group of 4 others who are too. 2 of those 4 are a gay couple.

Virtue signaling aside, it was straight up shit. 2hours and 5 mins of my life I’ll never get back

Netflix will kill itself with this virtue signaling garbage long before any competitor does.

Anyhow Night on Earth nature documentary is very good.

I like the idea of immortals but this is just a ripoff of highlander

You seem to hunt out things to be faux offended by - the unit was chicks as their task was to interview Muslim women in areas where men interviewing women would not be great for communication.

Finished 4 season in about 3 weeks
I sometimes change to Spanish and some actors have completely different voices to the English voice actors

Indian Matchmaking.

Pretty interesting insight on the arranged marriage process.

Surprisingly, I enjoyed it a lot.

Enjoyed the new Transformers anime series, War for Cybertron. The first of three chapters. Helps that the Transformers actually look like the originals.

Unsolved Mysteries. Brilliant return. The story about the family in France is just wtf? so eerie..

If I have one criticism its that some eps could be cut short by 10 or 15 minutes.

Ive seen this on the menu, a reboot of the old 90’s show hosted by Robert Stack yeah?

It's a reboot but there is no host or silly re-enactments. The stories are all told through interviews and its a more classy format.

Three Identical Strangers.

Wow.

Not a spoiler to mention it’s about 3 triplets separately adopted out who, by chance, meet each other later in life. But there’s so much more to it than just that.

Plenty more I’d discuss here (I have a genuine interest in adoption stories being in that category myself) but would definitely be a spoiler if I went into it more.

It’s not a touchy-feely or tear-jerker Oprah Winfrey style doco, so don’t be put off if that’s not your thing. If you like human interest stuff - this is mind blowing.

Just finished a series "losers", some great sports stories presented really well about storiea you would never hear or read anywhere else. You would think dog sledding and curling wouldnt be that interesting but its gold
